Angeles City - 2004 Reports

[Sprokit69]

McBArker, Who did you get your ticket through? I am looking for tickets to Manila around March 7th, but when I went to Delta's site, but Manila isn't a valid destination. .

[McBarker]

If anyone is looking for a great deal on airline tickets I got a good deal on using Delta to LA from Tampa for 196 USD RT and from LA to Manila via Taipai for 590 USD RT. All in all less than 800 bucks from Florida to Manila and back. I took Eva last time and its not bad except while in Taipai waiting for my flight back to the USA I could not find any place decent to eat at the airport. I arrive in Manila Friday March 5th at 11:35am and if I can get away with carry on luggage then ILL get to the Domestic airport quick to catch the 1pm SeaAir flight to Clark. Ill be in Angeles until April 13 th. Anyone up for some mongering at night contact me here. Ill be staying at the Clarkton most likely. Here's your chance for those free drinks Firedick.

Firedick,

I understand what you say about the pools, but those are closed to me unless unless I am staying at the hotel right? I thought about going to kokomos because its a bar / restaurant with GRO's to survey during the day, correct?

Thanks

Mikster

Mikster,

Forget Kokomo's if it's a pool you are looking. Best pools in town are (in order IMHO): #1 Woodland Park, but it's too far from the action, #2 Oasis, class at a price, #3 Clarkton, not a bad mix of locale and value, also has a go-go bar which is kind of "hit or miss".

I also would not consider Swagman, unless you are a sportbook junkie. The GRO's there are sub standard.


Good trip.

Retired AF:
maybe you can take Space to A to Korea, and buy a roundtrip ticket from there right into Angeles/Clark on Asiana Air.
Give it a try, I think it'll save you money. Or you can go Space A to Guam, and buy a ticket from there.
But, a cheap ticket from LA isn't too bad either, as Tanker suggests.
cheers,
Lalake

Mikster,

1. Apartelle Royale: Nice rooms. Good location.

Other options: Orchid Inn, Central Park-former Chicago Inn, Kokomos-they also have rooms.

You many start from above hotels, but you will like Oasis later.

I only stay in Oasis. Girls love it and so will you.

2. Meeting regular girls

Just relax and go bar hopping for first few days. And if are not satisfied with the bar girls, you can start seeking for "regular girls". When I go to AC, I bar hop for first 2 days and start playing golf and hit on umbrella girls or caddies when I need something extra.

3. Trikes and Jeepney

I never get on Jeepney. I just hire trikes. 50P anywhere in AC. Been going to AC since 1992, 4~5 times a year (I live in Korea). Never had a problem, never seen a problem and never heard of a problem.

There are many many people skip Manila but go down to AC straight. The beauty about AC is, especially for first timers, you don't need to negotiate. 1000p for anygirls you see.

Don't be shy asking anybody in a bar. Everyone there is on relaxed mood. They will all be happy to train a newbie.

For the last ten years I've visited PI, I've only stayed in MNL for 2 nights.

[Mikster]

I was wondering if anyone has experience staying at the Swagman Narra or Europhil Hotel? I have offers at both of the places now but am not sure which one to go with. Also, the Ponderosa is in play but they seem a bit far away from the action. Any opinions or better recommendations?

The lady at the Swagman says they have a great bar with many friendly GRO's, says I dont even need to go to Fields. Hehehe, fat chance of that.

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi Fellas,

I am embarking on my first trip to RP on February 7. I am in a bit of a last minute dilemma for several reasons. One is that so far I have struck out in the hotel area, three of the ones I researched and wanted are booked. Is the Apartelle a good deal and near to Kokomos? I ask about Kokomos because I like to lounge around the pool in afternoons and wonder if it is close and a good pool to hang at. Lots of girls there in the day? Action? Also, I have been meeting what I think are regular girls from Manila area on several websites. I was interested in possible meeting some regular girls for a relationship but am curious whether Manila is worth staying at for that reason only versus the debauchery to be had in AC. Any ideas how to meet regular girls in AC? Am I barking up the wrong tree? I am a bit paranoid to stay far off Fields AV after reading some reports of guys warning about trikes and jeepneys at night. I was booked at the Ponderosa but cancelled after reading some of those. Well, any and all advice will be appreciated. I arive the night of February 7 on Northwest around 9:50 pm if anyone else will be on that flight from Tokyo let me know and maybe we can chat on the plane about things. A bit nervous about my first trip, but ready to rock.

Thanks alot.

I'm arriving into Manilla on February 8th, about 4pm. Is anyone scheduled to arrive at around that time, would you like to share a cab to anngels with me.

Retired AF,

I looked this up in a Space-A guide, and space-a's are not allowed in and out of the PI. I recommend you consult with your nearest pax terminal to find out for sure, but that's the best info I have. I've found some cheap flights from LAX to MNL (anywhere from $450-600) on airline websites including NWA, Eva Air and China Airlines, and if that's not too much for you to spend, it's well worth it to have that confirmed reservation on a real airline. Good luck.

Firedick and McBarker,

Thanks MUCH guys. You just saved me a lot of "trial and error" time and effort.

Mister Ed,

The BJ bars in Angeles are located on Santos St. AKA Blow Row. They are very small in comparision to Fields Ave bars. Consisting of maybe 3 to 7 girls per establishment. Looks of the girls are average although there are always gems to be found you just have to look a bit. There are bars on on both sides of Santos St. with names like Heaven, Black Pearl and Shadows Mini Bar 2. Its 500 pesos for about 2 hours of fun. Conditions at these bars make it better taking the girl back to your hotel room then doing the deed right there unless you enjoy showering using a bucket of water and getting a half used bar of soap if your lucky. It can be dangerous on Santos St from say 10pm to daylight but any other time its safe even alone IMO. With a companion its fairly safe anytime. Girls working giving massages often have equal skills like at Palace Massage on upper Fields Ave (Don Juico Ave) or You and I massage on 1st St. Girls on Fields Ave and Real St seem to be less skilled than there Santos St sisters again IMO.

Happy hunting,

McBarker

Got that PI itch. Anybody got any information on the Space A flights into Clark? See you all in April in Angeles, one way are another.

Thanx,

Retired AF

Hi,

Lately I have it in my head to try a prostrate massage. Hear tell that such is nirvana. Any tips on locating a prostrate massaging Miss up Angeles way?

[Firedick]

McBarker.

Thanks for the kind words. March is unlikely but possible. I'll gladly take you up on the beers whenever we're in town at the same time.

I know what you mean about the board. I would guess that there are a lot of regulars out there who are keeping track, but, like me ("as I" to you grammar nuts) just have nothing new to add. Always happy to chime in with info that I can supply.

Later,

FD

PS: Firedick is my Hash House Harriers name. Any of you who travel SE Asia and need a little deversion from mongering, local Hashes are a lot of fun and a great info resource. In A.C. they meet at the hotel that used to be the Bonanza over in Mt View (somebody help me with the new name) at around 3:00 PM on Sundays. Check em out. On on !

Mister Ed,

BBBJTC, some swallow some don't, private rooms. Santos Street, off Fields Ave, between Kokomoz and La Bamba.
